The Austin Center for Grief & Loss is celebrating its annual Holders of Hope fundraiser and gala at Umlauf Sculpture Garden on Thursday, October 20, 2022. This year more than ever, we are pleased to showcase our services to donors and supporters who play a special role in making it possible for Austin Grief to help heal the pain of trauma and loss.
This annual event secures the funding needed to provide services to children and adults including therapy, support groups and school-based groups in Title 1 schools.
In response to the pandemic, we expanded our scope of services to support anyone experiencing loss, trauma, stress, and other mental health impacts. We are providing counseling to 175% more clients today than prior to the pandemic.
Please support us as we continue to expand to meet the exponential growth in mental health needs by sponsoring our HOLDERS OF HOPE GALA. Thursday, October 20, 2022, 6:30 – 10:00 PM, Umlauf Sculpture Garden with the online silent auction going live beginning October 17th!
For sponsorship information please contact Kim Nugent-Anderson, knugentanderson@austingrief.org.
